FAQ
How many sets are needed for a complete engine?
Eight (8) pairs — one pair per connecting rod on the 6.7L V8.
What does the “HX” suffix mean?
HX = H-Series with approximately .001" extra oil clearance versus standard H-Series (helpful for heavy-duty/towing/performance use).
Are these oversize/undersize bearings?
No. They are standard journal size; the extra clearance comes from shell geometry, not journal undersize.
Will these fit my Super Duty?
Yes, they are listed for 2011–2018 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke. Always verify by VIN and measure clearances during assembly.
